Vishay Intertechnology offers a highly sensitive photo detector that combines the efficiency enabled by CMOS technology with the high performance of Vishay's Photo-Schmitt-Trigger standard.
Packaged in a miniature plastic package (5 x 5 mm with a height of 2,65 mm) the TEKS6400 photo detector features a spherical side-view lens with a ±30° angle of half-sensitivity. The device's very high photosensitivity provides high EMI suppression and an integrated daylight filter that is spectrum-matched to IR emitters with a wavelength of 950 nm. The threshold irradiance is 40 mW/cm2. It features a low supply current of just 45 mA, and a supply voltage range of 2,5 to 5,5 V. Maximum output current is 20 mA and maximum power dissipation is 50 mW.
